Now before you tell me you already know that cough is associated dysphagia, listen Linda, listen. This is no mere time to sit back and wait for your patient to cough. We are here for quantifiable information with high sensitivity and specificity! We’re talking peak flow, Borg scales, and more.

Dr. Michelle Troche is here to remind us why we all fell in love with our frenemy cough in the first place, and to tell us how we can amp up our clinical practice if we pay attention to cough the right way. Did you know that cough, like swallow, isn’t a true reflex? We’ve been sold a bill of goods and it’s time to learn what’s really going on, with Dr. Troche as our guide.
